Update, merge issue..

leksar

ok, so i restored my forum from a backup
removed all unnecessary plugins by ACP (including spam-be-gone and ifsta-ui)
checked that there was no plugin foldes in node_modules/
restarted forum and checked it works well

then:

sudo git checkout v0.7.x
sudo git fetch
sudo git reset --hard origin/v0.7.x
sudo npm i

there was no more warnings, but the errors still exists

Hm. Perhaps some of the modules were installed globally.

$ npm unl -g nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui
$ npm i nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui   # not globally this time!

No need to run npm commands as sudo. In fact, it's actively discouraged.

Delete your node_modules/ folder again, and then run npm i as the leksar user.

Providing you've not done anything insane like edit things inside node_modules directly, or added packages without saving them in your package.json then a quick fix for this stuff is to do:

./nodebb stop
rm -rf node_modules #to remove your entire node_modules folder to start again
npm install #to install all your stuff from scratch
./nodebb config #to setup your database driver install

(press enter a lot on the config to use the same options as you already had installed)

./nodebb start
./nodebb log

I think I get it

Ok, problem is solved. The reason is my stupidity.
What we see on logs as "nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui" is not what it seems.
Month or two ago i manually copied folder nodebb-theme-ifsta-ui, renamed it and changed some strings in package.json, so it appered in ACP as separate theme which I was working on lately. So, after the removal of the theme update goes smoothly.

Shame on me, thanks for your help and sorry for your time
Now, all what i need is to learn how to add my own theme properly.

In that case, in your new theme, go into package.json and remove the peerDependencies section altogether. It's not really needed.

Thanks @BDHarrington7 but that didn't work either.

I'll backup & reinstall from scratch, probably the right idea this time as i've a Wordpress install which isn't behaving properly either, so I can tackle a number of issues head-on.

Cheers guys.

@tfraley Okay, run npm install first, before ./nodebb upgrade

Thank you thank you thank you......

Saved me hours of frustration lol
